Use the apostrophe in writing contractions. The apostrophe shows that
a letter or letters have been omitted. A pronoun and a verb or a verb with the
word "not" are the commonest contractions. Examples: you are = you're,
do not = don't

Some contractions stand for more than one pair of words. Example: she is or
she has = she's

Three contractions are irregular. They are shall not = shan't, will not =
won't, and cannot = can't.
